In 2024, the business once again turned to NearTech to support with both growth and replacement hires across Software Engineering and Technology Leadership roles.
The challenge
ServicePower needed to strengthen its technology team quickly without compromising on quality.
- Leadership hires: Both the Cloud and Software Tech Leader roles were replacements, requiring individuals with a different profile to their predecessors.
- Hands-on engineers: ServicePower needed three Software Engineers onboard quickly to ensure development momentum was not lost.
- Competitive market: The hiring process needed to move at pace, while competing against other agencies.
The solution
NearTech leveraged its existing knowledge of ServicePower and its strong network of senior engineers and tech leaders to deliver results fast.
- A detailed briefing call with the SVP of Technology (US-based) to understand role requirements, leadership style, and cultural fit.
- Provided up-to-date market intelligence on salary levels and candidate availability.
- Ran a comprehensive search, delivering a high-quality shortlist while maintaining regular feedback loops with the client.
- Advised on frontrunning candidates, ensuring ServicePower also considered other strong profiles and addressed any concerns candidates raised during the process.
Successfully filled an additional role that was briefed mid-search, while competing directly with another agency.
The results
We successfully placed five candidates with ServicePower, including three Software Engineers and two Technology Leaders. The partnership not only secured the right technical expertise but also strengthened leadership within the business.
By building strong relationships with the newly placed leaders, NearTech has become a trusted advisor, with those leaders now turning back to us for support with their own upcoming hires. This has created a sustained partnership that continues to play a central role in scaling ServicePower’s technology function.
